Now I have my scrap quilt idea! Thanks!
I have such a hard time cutting my own strips. They don't seem to come out very straight. I must be doing something wrong when I try.
This quilt looks like super fun to make...however I am still not quite understanding it all together. I am determined to figure this out though. I like it. It would make a perfect quilt to take to the beach.

Do you have one of the suction cup handles that you put on your ruler? I found that it REALLY helps to hold your ruler in one place. I also put some velcro dots on the ruler bottom for added stability. (I understand sand paper dots work well, too).
You can still go off track, but not as often - and slower cutting really helps, too.
The suction cup handle sounds like it could be a good idea for me. I know my hand does slip sometimes. Thanks for the tip.
